This is a place for people to share ideas and talk about collaborative worldbuilding, or large-scale worldbuilding projects that involve more than one person in the creation.

My name is Trent Hergenrader and I'm a PhD in English-Creative Writing and specialize in speculative fiction, digital writing projects, and games and game-based learning. I have a book out Oct 18 entitled Collaborative Worldbuilding for Writers and Gamers and developed a worldbuilding card deck to facilitate generating random worlds. If you're interested, you can find out about more on my website collaborativeworldbuilding.com.

But importantly, I don't plan on using this subreddit as a vehicle to promote the book and deck. Of course, I hope you check them out and find them useful, but really I'm mostly interested--both personally and professionally--in hearing about collaborative worldbuilding projects people are working on, and what they plan to do with them.

I'm happy to answer any questions you have about worldbuilding and to facilitate discussion. Welcome!

CollaborativeWorldbuilding is a reddit for anyone interested in cooperatively creating large-scale fictional worlds. Discussion involves worldbuilding questions from general to specific, along with sharing worldbuilding tools and resources useful for groups of people working on collaborative worldbuilding projects. All genres of worlds are welcome.
